On May 12, 2010, the microeconomic theory innovation team passed the construction defense

The first impression that the words “theoretical research” and “scientific research” bring to people is mostly boring. In this regard, Li Jianpei bluntly said that doing scientific research depends on a love for the field of expertise. Without love, there will be no enthusiasm to continue research, and there will be no opportunity to experience the fun of solving problems in the research process.

It is the passion for studying economic theory that has led this five-person team to develop since its establishment,Good trip. The five members of the team have researched in public economics, information economics, industrial organization theory and development economics respectively. Their slightly different research fields make them relatively independent in research on the one hand, and on the other hand they can use their expertise to form good complementarities in the research process. The team develops smoothly and the members cooperate with each other tacitly, which provides a solid foundation for the smooth production of scientific research results. During the research process, members collaborated to complete papers, exchanged opinions on the research work in progress and commented on each other,Revise each other’s paper details, polish sentences, and learn from each other’s strengths,Regarding this kind of cooperation, Li Jianpei said with a smile that his team partners performed “perfectly”.

Scientific research is a long process. Before the formation of the microeconomic theory innovation team, Li Jianpei and other members of the team had already begun research on related topics. They spent a lot of effort every step of the way from establishing goals and searching literature to building models and deducing conclusions. Precisely because of the extensive preliminary work, the team took two years to achieve the number of papers and scientific research tasks planned to be completed in three years. Of course, this is not the end of scientific research. This team will continue to move forward on the road of microeconomic theory, explore and discover the mysteries of microeconomic theory, and apply it more to practice to serve the application and promotion of the theory.

Scientific research is an innovative process. Regarding the word "innovation", Li Jianpei's understanding is that in the study of theory, the exploration of theory through continuous in-depth understanding and learning is itself a process of re-creation. On such an “innovation journey”, it is inevitable to encounter difficulties. Take building a model as an example. In the early stage of modeling, people may be confused about where to start, and the many complicated problems in the modeling process may make it difficult to choose. When faced with these problems, they looked for literature, reference examples, and repeated deliberation, so that the scientific research process could advance smoothly step by step. Behind the formation of a paper or a scientific research result is often reading dozens of papers, retrieving a large amount of literature, and repeated discussions after teaching. It is through this kind of polishing that all kinds of academic difficulties are gradually eliminated. At this time, for this scientific research team, the pressure from difficulties turned into motivation for research, and the enthusiasm for academics turned into fruitful results.

Scientific research is a process of communication. Scientific research conducted behind closed doors has huge limitations, so the microscopic theory innovation team is active in academic exchange activities. In the past two years, Li Jianpei and her team members have organized two international conferences and multiple academic activities, including2010Year6The "International Symposium on Antitrust Law and Regulatory Economics" held in March and2010Year8The "No. held in the month6The Annual Conference of the Asian Law and Economics Association". The international academic conferences he has participated in include the world’s top economics international conferences such as2010World Congress of Economists,2011Annual Meeting of the Econometric Society (Asia Branch, European Branch and Australian Branch), etc. In addition, team members actively participate in academic activities organized by domestic sister universities, such as the Five-Star Economic Forum organized by Renmin University (2010、2011and2012), Annual Conference on Industrial Economics organized by Shandong University,2011Shanghai Annual Seminar on Microeconomics, etc. Team members have also been invited to give academic reports on personal research at many universities at home and abroad. In exchanges with other scholars, they continue to obtain scientific research inspiration and broaden their scientific research thinking. "Sometimes when my thinking is knotted, I happen to get inspiration from communicating with colleagues at home and abroad, and I have ideas for solving the problem." Li Jianpei said with a smile.

This microeconomic theory innovation team has been together for two years. They are in a team and share the five passions for scientific research. With the same goals and the same motivation, they keep moving forward on the road of scientific research. Li Jianpei said: "Although the team's estimated scientific research time is only three years, there is no time limit for everyone's persistence in scientific research. I hope that we can continue to persist in the innovation of microscopic theory and achieve long-term and continuous scientific research."
